The Salzburg does not fail on its return and strengthens itself in the lead

Salzburg did not fail on its return to competition, after the forced stoppage due to the coronavirus pandemic, and took hold at the head of the Austrian League standings, winning 2-0 at Rapid Vienna on Wednesday. A victory not without problems, since if those of the American Jesse Marsch, it was not long before they went ahead (1-0) on the scoreboard with a goal nine minutes from Zambian striker Patson Daka, the sentence did not come until the discount time.

And it is that Salzburg had to wait until the 91st minute to breathe definitively, thanks to the goal of the Swiss Noah Okafor, who signed the final 2-0. A win that allowed Salzburg to increase to five points over Wolfsberger, who climbed to second place, after beating Sturm Graz 1-2 this Wednesday with the goals of the Israeli Shon Weissman, who opened the scoring in the 44th minute, and midfielder Michael Liendl, who doubled the visitors' lead in 64 (0-2).

Much worse it was for LASK Linz, who after seeing how he lost the first place in the classification, after being sanctioned with 6 points for not complying in training with the health protocol established due to the coronavirus, returned to competition with a loss. The Linz team was surprised at home by Hartberg, who took the three Raiffesen Arena games with a goal (1-2) in the extension time of striker Dario Tadic.

Neither the early Brazilian forward Joao Klauss, who overtook the locals on the scoreboard nine minutes into the game, prevented the defeat of LASK Linz. The set of the French Valerien Ismael could not prevent the comeback of the Hartberg, who turned the scoreboard over with the goals of the Slovenian Rajko Rep, who signed 1-1 in 24 minutes, and the aforementioned Tadic, who established in 93 the final 1-2. A defeat that relegated Lin's team to third place with six points less than the leader, Salzburg.
